SC moved against mandatory Aadhaar card for digital locker

Gurgaon, July 3: A Gurgaon based Right to Information activist on Friday filed a petition in the Supreme Court challenging the government's directive making Aadhaar card mandatory for creating digital locker.

The central government on July 1 announced the service of digital locker for the safekeeping of valuable documents while launching Digital India Week.

Petitioner Sudhir Yadav in his petition has alleged that despite the clear order of the Supreme Court, the Narendra's Modi government has announced a new service based on Aadhaar card.

The petitioner has alleged that due to this directive of the central government, the right of equality guaranteed by the constitution is under threat.
